Agape: Thoughts and lyrics

What does it mean to be a committed husband? This is what Carl and Mike think it means anyway.  I remember hearing years ago that the most important job a man had was to love his wife.  So this one is for our wives. – MK

To die for you
To lay me down and go to sleep
Not a second thought
Your love to keep

If I could take take – take your pain
In trade for that sunflower smile
Not a second thought
My reason to be

And I will always stay
And I will always be
The one who keeps you safe
The one who is your shield

You believe in me
When I fall short
Light to fight my dark
My life support
And it isn’t in the vows
No, it isn’t stamped by men
It’s the hours the days
The years by which we grow
Not some fickle fleeting flame
Nor some public playhouse game
But a life committed to a team of one…

No it isn’t in the vows
And it isn’t stamped by men
No it isn’t in the vows
And it isn’t stamped by men
And the heart I have today
Is more full than way back then…

Upon your throne I see each day
Perfection, perfection sitting there
The beauty of my world
The lady who makes my life fair

And I will always stay
And I will always be
The one who keeps you safe
The one whose shield is me
The one who’ll dry your tears
The one who’ll die for you
